This project aims to replace many of the default game heads. As of now I am only supporting the OC heads but will see about updating the heads added in expansions once I have completed this step. Bare in mind I am working alone and this is a huge undertaking :)
Many of the heads have not been fully tested for animation and there may well be other bugs to be found so please feel free to let me know if you find any.
Completed so far:
Updated eye textures (should work on all races that use P_HHM_Eye01)
10 female and 15 male human heads
5 male and 5 female Aasimar heads
6 male and 6 female Half Elf heads
3 Sun Elf Male and 5 female heads
3 Drow Male and 5 Female heads
2 hairs that replace the bald and mohawk female hair presets so that none of the NPCs that use those hairstyles will make your eyes bleed with horrible seams :P
In progress:
Tiefling 10% complete (on hold)
Companions: 10% complete, breakdown below.
Bevil 100% complete
Neeshka 100% complete
Elanee 100% complete
I will release the companion pack once I have finished polishing and testing them.
This project is designed to provide updated resources that can be used by the community as well as the casual player simply wanting a better looking game. All assets are free to use, alter and distribute provided credit is given. I will not be making a non replacing pack for this project due to the sheer amount of work involved in completing it let alone renaming potentially upwards of a hundred models.
The reason I decided to go this route is because I wanted to play through the game again but could not bare to look at the character creation screen. As a hobbyist character artist its just one of those things I can't forgive. This way, not only does the character creation screen get a much needed face-lift but so too will the NPCs in the game, I am already working on the companions/NPC heads as well as the race heads so keep checking in here for updates.
Feel free to use my work to create non replacing versions, re-textures, variations, new races and whatever else you lovely imaginative people can conceive and above all, enjoy the project :)

On a side note I would like to state that these heads are not ported from the dragon age toolset, they are all created in 3d studio max. The only thing that was ported is a custom head mod of my own creation that was initially created for Dragon age. I am sorry if this has caused any confusion, sadly there is no way to port head morphs from dragon age into any other game. The head that I started from was a head that I created and imported into DA:O for a project I was working on, it turned out to be unsuitable for my needs for the project so I decided to make use of it for NWN 2. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
UPDATE:
Human Male pack now fixed for use with clone MDB. Slight order change to better suit the OC. All heads now animate correctly.
O, thank you, thank you, thank you! This is the most beautiful pack, that i ever know. Amazing work. Can't wait Tieflings, Moon elves and other races from you!)

Also wanted to throw in my thanks. When I went to replay the campaign (and finally finish it for once) I was very put off be the face graphics and spent much of my time trying to find good retextures and remodels. These are by far the best! I can finally clear out my override folder of all those extra heads.

Thank you so, so much for this amazing work! I just got back into NWN2 and was unable to make my Aasimar character because I was so horrified at how awful his face looked. You've saved him from the endless pit of rejected character concepts! Keep up the awesome work!

I just wanted to post a thank you all for your support and comments, it really helps me keep going on this. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be done and then I see posts of encouragement here and on the nexus and I find the inspiration to get back to it. Wood elves coming soon :) _________________________ NWN1 Head and body pack NWN2 Facelift Pack. 7 times they came and 7 times they died who can say what the 8th will bring.

Hey Xaltar, will that include the older headpack you did as well? Additionaly there are a efw old heads that have the scalp missing so that any hair models can fit on top of them (provided there isn't much clipping with the ears) so some of your new hair models might work with a few of the old communitymodels anyway :).

Still a long way to go on the hair unfortunately. I plan to release complete packs for each gender and race before release. I will probably release either human male or female hair first followed by elf once the elves are done completely seeing as my hairs are not compatible with the original heads. In other words, if you use other headpacks than mine then you will either need to edit my hair packs to work with them or not use my hairs at all. Some will work with the defaults but all my hairs with close to the scalp areas will clip through. It was a case of either have them look good on my heads and clip on the originals or look bad on my heads with huge gaps between hair and head so I opted to only cater for my heads. Its a pity the original heads had such bad proportions... _________________________ NWN1 Head and body pack NWN2 Facelift Pack. 7 times they came and 7 times they died who can say what the 8th will bring.

Don't worry Xaltar. I saw the comment about them being unreleased after making my own. I'll just sit and quietly look forwards to them then :).
